What We Do

An operational intelligence partner for the forecast you have, or the one you don't.

Built for apparel, footwear and sportswear brands who are done guessing. As AI increasingly makes the stocking and forecasting decisions that used to sit with a person, we provide the judgement that decides when those decisions can be trusted and when they need to be overridden, whether that means auditing where you're currently exposed, building the protocol your team runs on, or acting as your embedded planning partner month to month.

The Problem
Knowing what happened isn't the same as knowing what to do next.

Most tools show you the numbers. They don't tell you when to act, or warn you before a problem costs you money.

01.

Stockouts you never saw coming

A hero SKU runs out mid-campaign because nobody was watching the number until it hit zero.

Cash tied up in dead stock

Inventory that's been sitting for months, quietly costing you the cash you need to reinvest.

20 - 30%
of inventory value lost to carrying costs on unsold stock

Decisions made on gut feel

Reordering happens by instinct or habit, not because the data told you it was time.

The Approach
Operational intelligence,
not another spreadsheet.

You get a live operational intelligence engine, not a data dump. Every number tells you exactly what to do next.

A live system, not a report

One link, refreshed by us on a regular schedule. Check it from your phone in seconds, no spreadsheet required.

Proactive alerts, not surprises

You're told a SKU is at risk before it becomes a stockout, not after.

Three forecasting scenarios, your call

Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive. You choose the risk level, nothing is dictated to you.

Built on global brand thinking

The same operational discipline used by the world's biggest sportswear brands, built for your stage of growth.

Founder

Jordan Walters

The founder of The Verified Intelligence Group brings five years of real-world experience across some of the world's most recognised sportswear and sports nutrition brands.

His career spans Logistics, Operations, Demand Planning, Forecasting and Commercial Strategy, beginning in a Global Logistics role at Zelus, a Nike Licensee, before shifting focus to Commercial Demand Planning, then moving to Myprotein, where he built SKU-level inventory and logistics reporting for Walmart, its largest US retail customer. He later joined New Balance, forecasting future demand for one of the world's biggest sportswear brands.

Elite athlete. Systems thinker. Believer that small and growing product-based brands deserve the same operational discipline as the giants, without the price tag that usually comes with it.

Most operational consultants either give you a generic template, or a spreadsheet you're expected to maintain yourself. The Verified Intelligence Group was built to be neither.

Every engagement starts with the same question a global operations team would ask: what decision is this founder actually trying to make? Everything is built backwards from that, not from a template, from the decision itself.

The result is a system that looks and feels like the operational infrastructure global brands take for granted, built specifically for a business at your stage, and priced accordingly.
